North Korea's propaganda outlet Uriminzokkiri published an article Friday calling for reconciliation and confidence-building between the Koreas, a day ahead of the 19th anniversary of the June 15 Joint Declaration signed between then-President Kim Dae-jung and then-leader of the North, Kim Jong-il.
The article urged South Korea to stop conducting its joint military exercises with the United States, calling them continuous covert hostile activities against the North's regime.
It said the South Korea-U.S. joint exercises hinder the two Koreas from engaging in dialogue and cooperation, at a critical time where the inter-Korean relationship is at a crossroads between improvement and deterioration.
